'Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Will Finally See A Proper Supervillain

To this point, Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been frustratingly refusing to use any character who is actually in the Marvel Universe, bar Gravitron, who arguably doesn’t even count since he’s not actually Gravitron until the end of the episode. But that might finally, finally, be changing, with the arrival of the b-list villains we’ve all been looking for.

“Seeds” – Coulson and May uncover startling information about Skye’s past, while the team is swept into a storm at S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, on “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” Tuesday, January 14 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

They actually go out of their way to point out that, yes, Donnie Gill is the alter ego of the Blizzard, although the emphasis is ours. You might remember the Blizzard gets his abilities from a suit Justin Hammer makes for him, although in the comics he’s apparently got a little Inhuman in him. Apparently it’ll be Ian Quinn filling in for Hammer on the show.

About time. Now, let’s actually get some superheroes in here, maybe bring Hammer back, and spend 2014 Marvelling it up, guys. After the first half of the season, it’s overdue.

Shocker and Boomerang are Spiderman villains. What’s wrong with this show is the rights to so many characters is split up between Sony, Marvel, and Fox that they really can’t use any of the more popular characters and the characters from the movies are to expensive to be regular characters.

@Hitmanmonkey The rights are tied up if they tried to make someone appear in a movie, but when it comes to television Marvel can pretty much do whatever they want, even if said show is in the movie universe.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t suit up as Blizzard in this episode. Dylan Minnette is a teenager, so he’ll probably just be a student at the academy who’s like a mole or something for Ian Quinn. Just setting up for him showing up at some point in the future as the supervillain.
